Buying a rig??

Amos Moses MMT Member Joined: Tue Jul 28, 2009 9:06 am Posts: 23 Location: Breaux Bridge, Louisiana	Buying a rig?? Hey guys I'm looking in to buying a set up to get in these swamps in. I'm new to all this and don't really know anything other than what I've been told. But this is what I'm thinking of. I was told that Pro Drive and Gator Tails are the best and only candy azz queers drive Mud Buddy's. I ain't no punk bytch so I ain't getting no Mud Buddy. My question is this will Gator Tail and Pro Drive let me demo a motor so I can compare the 2 before making a decission. _________________ Have yall ever noticed that Mud Buddys come with two manuals. One on how to operate it and one on how to deep throat us guys running Pro Drives.

Amos Never owned the PD or GT - but I can tell you as they follow my GDSD the PD is the first to struggle to keep up and they can both back away from the tough spots well.... Just teasin... Each has assets the other does not have... Test drive them all - post your area and see if someone will give you a ride in their rig... _________________ Eat - Sleep - Hunt ! ! !

Search the Wallisville thread with 2000 views to see if I'm on a fence.... If you like to mechanic like a pit crew --- the PD and GT are for you... If you like to run for hundreds of hours with no mechanical issues - get yerself a GoDevil surface drive.... _________________ Eat - Sleep - Hunt ! ! !

Mine is still under warranty and except for an oil change it won't see any wrenches for another few hundred hours... But you and your pit crew will be greasy the day after every run - I am bettin...

Keep your sights on Gator tail & Pro-Drive cause they are the best. Which ever one you choose, you won't be disappointed. Whatever you do, don't listen to GigaTard and you will be just fine. P.S.

The motor is only half of the magic a mud rig is capable of,,,, These MFGs have ALL done a lot of work in optomizing their motor design with their hull... _________________ Eat - Sleep - Hunt ! ! !

I have tried but Giga you are a forking arsehole,I've got 2 GDSD's next door to me that have both had issues with that bad ass frame,broke shaft under 80 hours blamed it on the owner total bull shit,forked up quick trim that keeps bending,cracked/broken welds and thats just the two motors that I know of. You want to talk about ease of operation with motors that do not even have neutral,they are notrious for busting legs and shins.I've ran 3 differant gdsd's on 3 differant hulls and although its just my opinion they suck compared to other SD's in ease of operation. These motors are put in extremely harsh conditions on purpose,everything will break,unless you just keep your boat on step and pass people by that could use a hand.Around these parts thats not what MEN do,you forking bitch. And did I mention go fork yourself you stupid nutless fork. Thats all.

I'm not going to knock any brand, nor promote any; but I'm not sure whats to talk about. Aluminum tensil yeilds are pretty staggering considering its weight. Comparing it to steel is apples to oranges; ever consider why airplanes aren't made of steel or outboard lower units or the frame of your engine block on your mud motor Nothing personal but just food for thought _________________ 1648 PD w/36FPR
